A man and his wife owned a goose that laid them a golden egg every morning. This made the couple very rich and they wanted for nothing.
 
Even so, the man said, “If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside our goose, we would be that much richer in an instant.”
 
“You're right,” said the wife. “We wouldn't have to wait for her to lay just one egg every day.”
 
Agreed, they killed the goose and cut her open only to find no golden eggs inside. Dead, she was exactly the same as all other geese who laid nothing but goose eggs.

The man who wants too much is liable to lose everything.
